The Avonlea is a charming and comfortable inn situated in the heart of Stratford -- perfect for enjoying the theaters, food, shopping, and everything else the town has to offer. Our room was well appointed, clean, quiet, and roomy. Although parking is not available, the host will gladly recommend nearby lots that are an easy walk from the inn. We enjoyed our stay!

Despite the name, this is not an inn. It's two rooms for rent above a restaurant. There are no "staff". The owner is available through messaging. The location is fabulous. I strongly encourage anyone thinking of booking to read the 1* reviews before proceeding.

The room was very nice. The parking was awful.it was recommended to use the free parking but it was very far when travelling with suitcases. If you are not good with stairs then that might be an issue as well. If not for the parking and stairs I would rate this property higher.

We had a lovely stay. Perfect location for restaurants, shopping and the theaters. Our room was two stories up, which could be difficult and tiring because of the stairs. But it was also very quiet. Thanks for a great stay.
